Zong Tomb: Starting from Huangpizi Tomb

Chapter 96 Entering the Underground Palace
  After listening to Bai Qi and Fatty's explanations, as well as Hazel's words, Bai Jing also breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that it was not that his ability failed, but that Hazel had no ill intentions towards him at all, so Bai Jing didn't notice it.

But this also reminded Bai Jing that he would have to practice more in the future, otherwise he wouldn't even know he was being approached quietly.

Afterwards, everyone began to continue discussing what it was that could attract the attention of so many poisonous insects and beasts.

Bai Jing thought for a moment, then jumped up and grabbed the crack where the golden-headed centipede came in, wanting to find out.

But Bai Jing didn't find anything about that crack.

But Bai Jing noticed that the brick walls of this tomb were extremely hard.

At the same time, these tomb bricks are neatly arranged and tightly made, and are extremely strong. Even the engineer's shovel can only leave a mark at most. Moreover, copper liquid and molten iron are poured between the tomb bricks, so that even water cannot seep through them. Once inside, it is clearly a 'Water Dividing King Kong Tower'!
  This so-called 'Water Dividing King Kong Pagoda' is actually a tower wall built with huge bricks at the entrance of the tomb passage in order to prevent moisture and theft in ancient large tombs, and copper liquid and molten iron were poured between the brick joints. It is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The top of the tomb is shaped like a water-dividing tip, so it is called the 'Water-Dividing King Kong Pagoda'.

This 'Water Dividing Vajra Tower' is like an immovable Vajra, which can keep out almost all tomb robbers.

At the same time, Bai Jing also discovered that phosphorus fire was buried in the murals of the Liao tomb. If someone dug into the murals, they would be ignited by the phosphorus fire and die without a burial place.

The level of anti-theft here can really be said to be top-notch.

There are various signs that this is definitely a huge tomb, and it is definitely not something that ordinary princes and generals can withstand.

Bai Jing vaguely remembered that this place was probably related to the tomb of the Queen Mother of Liao Kingdom.

But Bai Jing was not sure, because where he jumped in line, there was a mountain between Ganggang Yingzi and the town called Niuxin Mountain. That place could be said to be the tomb of Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Kingdom.

As for the tomb where Bai Jing and the others are now, although Bai Jing is still not sure whose tomb it is, it is definitely a large tomb that is not inferior to Niuxin Mountain.

At this moment, Bai Qi also discovered the 'Water Dividing King Kong Pagoda', but he was also a little confused. Normally, this 'Water Dividing King Kong Pagoda' should be installed where the tomb door is. Why was the King Kong Pagoda in the Liao Tomb hidden in the tomb? After the mural?
  Bai Jing also saw Bai Qi's doubts, and said quietly: "Maybe we thought wrong. This is a big tomb, far beyond the big tomb we imagined."

After listening to Bai Jing's analysis, Bai Qi also told Fatty, Lu Jun, Jianguo, and Hazel what the 'Water Dividing Vajra Tower' was.

Suddenly, Bai Qi thought of a possibility and said immediately: "Tell me, is there a secret passage for coffins to enter the underground palace for burial!"

When the fat man heard this, he immediately retorted: "Didn't you just tell Brother Bai that the Diamond Tower seals the entrance to the tomb passage? Aren't the coffins carried in from the tomb passage? Why is there a need for a secret passage?" "

When Bai Jing heard Bai Qi's words, it was as if a bolt of lightning flashed through his mind, and he immediately said: "What my brother said makes sense. People in ancient times were superstitious. Whether it is burial or sealing the tomb passage, these underground palaces can at most be opened. A few hours.

In such a short time, there is no time to wait for the coffin to enter the underground palace and rebuild the Vajra Tower, so there must be a hole left in the Vajra Tower for the coffin to enter.

If it is really the tomb passage here that leads to the underground palace for burial, then there will be no traces of sealing on the Diamond Tower blocking the tomb passage, so there is at least a secret passage. "

With that said, Bai Jing held a torch and illuminated the area where the mural was located and said, "Look, this mural is formed in one piece and has definitely not been repaired later, so the secret passage must exist!"

Bai Jing was full of confidence when he said this.

Bai Qi and Bai Jing had the same idea, and they both looked at each other with smiles in their eyes. However, Lu Jun asked hesitantly: "So, you guys, where is this secret passage?"

When Bai Jing heard this, he pointed at the rotten trees on the ground.

Everyone else is a little confused.

What does this have to do with the rotten wood on the ground?

But Bai Qi understood Bai Jing's meaning and immediately explained: "The scale of this Liao tomb is so huge, the coffin must be not small, and the tomb passage is narrow, so it must not be carried in, but if it is not lifted, it will be directly on the ground. Will pushing the coffin damage the coffin? Tell me how to get the coffin in without damaging it."

At this moment, Jianguo seemed to have thought of something and said excitedly: "I understand, it depends on these pieces of wood!"

Bai Jing gave an approving look, and then said: "Jianguo is right, it depends on these logs. When these logs are in good condition, they are all logs of similar specifications. Spread these logs on the ground, and place the coffin on the logs. Go up, this way you can get the coffin in without damaging it."

After listening to Bai Jing's words, the fat man suddenly said: "So that's it, no wonder there are so many rotten wood in this tomb. I was wondering before, who would place dozens of wooden piles for burial, but I didn't expect that it would be used for this purpose." "

Bai Jing confirmed what the fat man said, and then began to wander around the tomb.

Soon, Bai Jing found a pile of sand in a corner of the ground and was sure that this was the entrance.

Immediately, Bai Jing picked up the engineering shovel and started digging.

The sand seemed to be bottomless. Bai Jing dug for a long time before digging out a sand hole, but he also found that as he dug, sand seemed to be falling from above.

Seeing this, Bai Jing took turns digging with Bai Qi, Fatty, and Jun Jun.

As several people dug, the quicksand pit stopped falling sand.

After more than an hour of digging, a passage was finally dug out that was large enough for one person to pass through. Just in case, Bai Jing used the still intact wood among the rotten trees as support and was the first to get through.

Others followed closely, and after coming over, Bai Jing saw that the Vajra Tower was seven layers of bricks thick, with a tunnel on the other side, and the ground was paved with Baoxianghua tomb bricks. On the stone wall there were Neat chisels.

It seems that this Liao cemetery palace was really carved out of the mountain into a mausoleum, and the grottoes dug out of the mountain were the underground palace.

After everyone came over, because the torches had been extinguished early, the underground palace was pitch dark and filled with the aura of death, which made people feel eerie and depressing. As soon as a few people came in, they couldn't help but feel a little creepy.

As everyone lit the torches, the scene in the underground palace could finally be seen clearly.

The fat man stared at the scene in front of him in stunned silence.

"In such a big tomb, an emperor must be buried there."
